Spencer, IA (KICD)– There is going to be a little game of musical chairs played on the campus of Spencer Hospital to make room for continued growth.

Director of Laboratory and Rehab Services Jordan Reed says the first step in making it possible for Family Medicine to grow is to move Pathology from its current location in the Medical Arts Building.

Reed says the move, which is actually rented space to Physicians Lab, makes sense with ongoing project to build a new Emergency Department and may make working with other departments a bit easier.

The Hospital Board of Trustees gave the okay last week to spend up to half a million dollars on this particular project which will include some added ventilation and other safety precautions because of chemicals that are used in the lab.
